I don't understand what you're talking about. "Phiwin" is not an English name. "Phi" is part of a Greek prefix meaning "to like." It appears in things like "Phillip" which is a Greek name, not English. Sure, it is used in English, but it's not a "pure" English name.

Heck, not even William is an English name. It comes from Old High German "Willahelm." Online Etymology Dictionary

The closest you can come to an English name would be something like "Scott," which comes from Old English meaning "a Scotsman" or something.

For example, my name is Kyle Philip Goetz. "Kyle" is Gaelic. "Philip" is Greek. "Goetz" is German.

My last name "Wilson" is an English/Scottish surname meaning "Son of Will" (the "Will" being from William).

My first or middle name won't be of any help, seeing that my first name is a pet name (Katie), and my middle name is generally a surname (Lee).

Really? Huh. In the UK 'Lee' is a boy's first name too.

I have a full British name.

My real name is all English, save from my middle name which is Irish.

My nickname, "Robin", is English as well.

Yeah, I think as Kyle pointed out earlier on, hardly any names belong to just one nationality/language. There are many names used by various groups of people, and some used commonly in English that stem from Greek, Latin, German etc. I actually looked up a name the other day and was shocked to see it was very common in around nine languages, lol. So I'm not suprised Robin is Dutch also All I can say is the Dutch obviously have good taste in names
